And he’s been there 30 years this month. Washington, D.C., journalist and former “How Positive Are You” co-host Terry Michael returns to survey the accountability-free “Cult of Tony” and its far-reaching influence on AIDS research and treatment. “If there is one great threat to public health in the world, I’ll have to lay that at the doorstep of Tony Fauci,” he says.

Comments (7)Episode 87: Journalist Terry Michael on What Every Gay Man Should Know About Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Is there a pill to prevent “HIV”? Is Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) the answer we’ve been looking for, all these years? Your intrepid team here at “How Positive Are You” is on the case, with Washington, D.C., journalist Terry Michael. Unlike other gay pundits and “leaders,” Michael has read the studies, done the math — and documented the corruption [report updated November 22, 2014] at the highest levels of U.S. corporations and government. So, after hitting the books, he told HPAY co-hosts David Crowe and Elizabeth Ely what he found. You decide.

Comments (6)Episode 41: Tony Lance and Intestinal Dysbiosis
Tony Lance is a gay man who was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1996, even though he himself never engaged in the “fast-track lifestyle” that linked many gay men at the time to so-called “HIV infection”.

Dr. Roberto Giraldo started investigating immune deficiencies in the mid-1960s as a medical student and was already investigating the mysterious illnesses of some gay men in the 1970s.
